I’ve heard multiple times that using testosterone supplements degrades your body’s ability to make testosterone naturally. So once you start using supplements you always have to use them. Otherwise they sound interesting. Just a few injections and I can type in ALL CAPS whenever I want? Sign me up.

He must have filed a discharge petition.

I haven’t used Puppeteer but have seen similar issues with Selenium and Firefox. Yeah you have to code delays for pages to load, use onload events, maybe scan the page for text you expect to see, etc. If this is for your own site (I mean where you’re working) you can probably do most QA functions by having some special flags that disable the overlays and stuff. Also if you have disk space to burn, instead of screen shots, you can connect the browser frame buffer to ffmpeg and capture video. That can be useful for QA, since if something goes wrong, you can see an actual movie of what was happening.

Yes browsers eat ram, you just have to deal with that.

Music that takes focused listening, or else the kind that zones you out.

1 centaur = 1/2 human + 1/2 horse

1/2 human + 1/2 centaur = 3/4 human + 1/4 horse.

Yay math.

I’d expect any online thing to be traced back to the person if it was juicy or otherwise usable as kompromat. There was just a news item about using LLM analysis to de-anonymize people, fwiw.

I guess they must have had better internet in the French Revolution than we have here now! Everyone hates Comcast and now you know why ;).

Interesting though article is from 2016 which is when the scandal happened.

Meh. I’m holding out for wretched hive of scum and villainy.

We had that, it was called dmoz.org, looks dead/squatted now.

If they own houses that is public info.

Does that mean they are enlarging the inventory now? As opposed to dismantling old bombs as they make new ones (modernization while keeping the number constant)? I thought there was a treaty capping the total number but haven’t been keeping track.

You really have to see what the db is doing to understand where the bottlenecks are, i.e. find the query plans. It’s ok if it’s just single selects. Look for stuff like table scans that shouldn’t happen. How many queries per second are there? Remember that SSD’s have been a common thing for maybe 10 years. Before that it was HDD’s everywhere, and people still ran systems with very high throughput. They had much less ram then than now too.

WTF. What could possibly go wrong. Flip phone here I come.

Ok I used to feel sorry for non-libre streaming software users, but this is now in “one born every minute” territory. Thanks.

What the heck is this thing? Should many of us care?

Hmm ok, though if a security program needs frequent updates, that’s a cause for concern in its own right… :/

So do that. You can do that with Signal.

Do you know of anyone doing it? Other people have said there are difficulties.

You wouldn’t register on websites, but you would communicate with them over plaintext. I hope that makes it clearer.

It is ok, in that era (dialup or wired internet) unencrypted http was basically as secure as unencrypted landlne phone calls. People still have unencrypted phone calls all the time. Typicalally sites would show public content (like product pages on an e-commerce site) by http, then switch to https for checkout to protect stuff like credit card numbers. Encrypting everything became important when wifi became widespread. Wifi hotspots would hijack DNS and spoof entire web sites to steal credentials. Also, LetsEncrypt made it possible to bypass the CA scam industry, making https-everywhere more popular. Public awareness also increased due to Snowden’s disclosures.

The RSA encryption patent also expired in 2000. Before that, US website operators were potentially exposed to hassle if they didn’t use a commercial server with an RSA license ($$$). But, it didn’t apply outside the US and FOSS SSL servers existed for those wanting them.
